Will the real slim shady please stand up?!

Good book or bad book? We turned to the Pros ''The Tenth Man'' is melodrama, which is O.K. But Greene attempts to invest it with philosophical meaning, and, really, it does not work. WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY JR. (NY Times) He Cheated Death AMAZON readers said: The novel is a fine example of of Greenes style, as finished and polished as any of his more complex novels. The dialogue is taut, revealing character and plot simultaneously, with no extraneous chat. Filled with ironies and absurdities, the novel maintains considerable suspense until the dramatic ending.

*Matts Rating & Personal Review* Reasons to enjoy: -Suspense -Drama Moral issues within the book: -Giving up your life to benefit another. -Giving up your possessions. -Dont take advantage of those below you. Reasons not to enjoy: -Predictable story line -Lack of character building Well the food wasnt THAT good… MATT SEZ >>

16
The Tenth Man:: MoRaLs To give up ones life for another. Janvier sacrifices himself with unclear motifs: 1) to die in his own personal glory 2) didnt want his family to be left struggling

17
The Tenth Man:: MoRaLs II Give up your riches to save your own life. People disregard what they value just to become more wealthy and greedy. Children relinquish their beliefs in order to look cool to other kids.

18
The Tenth Man:: MoRaLs III Dont take advantage! Often times people take advantage of someone who has recently been hurt in any way. Chavel does not win Theres love after he realizes he is attracted to her because her mother has just passed away, it is not the right time. Deception hurts! Chavel pretends to be Charlot so Janviers family doesnt find out he is responsible for his demise. The beggar pretends to be Chavel in order to become wealthy.
